A look at the New York City punk-rock scene and the venerable nightclub, CBGB.
Originally planned to be a venue and bar for country music (CBGB stands for country, blue grass blues). It eventually became the place to be for punk and rock music. It had early shows of acts like Blondie, The Talking Heads, Tge Ramones and many others.
I’m not sure if you’re not into music this might not appeal to you. All the live acts are to polished studio versions of songs. I think that’s to help make it more accessible to everybody but it feels weird.
There’s also no real narrative persay. Just a series of things that happen. It’s interesting, but most biopics have some kind of narrative. Not so much a “one time this happened.” Not really bad, but odd.
I’m a music junkies so I enjoyed it a lot. Obviously, there are sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
